In order to solve the existing technical problem, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

A storage box, characterized in that it comprises a vacuum bag, foldable first base board and second base board provided at the bottom of the vacuum bag for housing the vacuum bag, an opening for receiving articles to be stored and a zipper for sealing the opening provided on the upper portion of the vacuum bag, an air valve on the body of the vacuum bag for removing the air from the bag to create an internal negative pressure. Said first and second base boards are configured to form a cubic cavity. Within said cubic cavity, said vacuum bag is housed. A cover board is provided on the top of the cubic cavity. An interlayer is provided at the bottom of the vacuum bag, wherein said first base board passes through the interlayer and foldable sections thereof extend beyond the interlayer, said second base board is provided across and under the first base board, and the bottom end of said vacuum bag is attached to and fixed on the second base board.

A storage box as described above, characterized in that said first base board comprises a bottom section and foldable left and right side sections, and said second base board comprises a bottom section and foldable front and back side sections. The bottom section of the first base board and that of the second base board overlap, and the left and right side sections of said first base board can be correspondingly folded upward to connect with the front and back side sections of the second base board.

A storage box as described above, characterized in that Velcro hooks are respectively provided on both ends of the left side section and right side section of the first base board, and Velcro loops are correspondingly provided on both ends of the front side section and back side section of the second base board. The Velcro hooks and loops provides fasten between the side sections.

A storage box as described above, characterized in that straps are provided on the second base board, and a flexible connection head is provided at an end of each strap of the second base board. Straps are also provided on the cover board, and a connection slot for inserting the flexible connection head is provided at an end of each strap. The flexible connection head can form a snap connection with in the connection slot.

A storage box as described above, characterized in that a handle is further provided on the front side of the second base board.

The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art. Firstly, the present invention forms a cubic cavity enclosed by the first and second base boards, and a vacuum bag is housed in the cubic cavity, and then clothes are put into the vacuum bag such that creases will not be easily formed on the stored clothes and the shape of the clothes can be well protected, and no further process is required when the clothes are taken out for wearing again, thus saving time. Secondly, the first and second base boards in the present invention are securely connected by Velcro attachment for convenience in use, and a handle is further provided on the second base board to facilitate carrying. Thirdly, the present invention can be easily disassembled when not in use, and it takes very little room when further folded after disassembling.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures:

As shown in the FIGS. 1-6, a storage box of the present invention comprises a vacuum bag 1, a first base board 2 and a second base board 3 provided at the bottom of the vacuum bag 1 for housing the vacuum bag 1, an opening 11 for putting in articles to be stored and a zipper for sealing said opening 11 provided on the upper portion of the vacuum bag 1. Articles to be stored are put into the bag through the opening 11 and the opening 11 is sealed by the zipper. An air valve 13 for removing the air from the bag is provided on said vacuum bag 1, and the air in the vacuum bag 1 is removed through the air valve 13 after the articles are stored therein.

First base board 2 and second base board 3 encompass and form a cubic cavity 5, and a cover board 6 is further provided on the top of the cubic cavity 5 to cover the cubic cavity 5 such that it forms a cubic box. An interlayer 12 is provided at the bottom of the vacuum bag 1, and said interlayer 12 comprises a piece of soft cloth or plastic, of course, it may be other materials, and the interlayer can be formed by connecting both edges of the cloth with both edges of the bottom of the vacuum bag 1.
